I been trying to find out information on what I need to do to replace the spark plugs on my vehicle. I find some but it always refers to the V6. From what I read, it seems more labor intensive than a simple takeout put back in situation. Can I get to plugs with and extension or do I have to tear half of the motor apart to replace them.

Half hour job. Pull off the wires, use and extension and spark plug wrench. Blow out the hole with air first if possible. Set your gap at.051", putt a little anti-seize on the threads away from the electrode, treat the wire boot/connector with di-electric grease and put it back togather.
